While many renal diseases have been shown to progress at different rates between the sexes, these findings indicate that there are differential pathologic pathways governed by gonadal steroids, with testosterone promoting a GH-dependent, hypertrophic renal growth, and 17β-estradiol promoting IGF-1-associated hyperplastic renal growth [ 16, 17, 23].
Detailed patient information such as age, gender, histological type, differential grade, pathologic stage and history of using alcohol/smoking is listed in Table S5.
The overlapping cytogenetic abnormalities seen in AL, MGUS and MM points to their shared pathologic pathway but the differential frequency of their presence may point to part of their differences.
Differentiating AD from FTLD is an important clinical use for amyloid PET, since Aβ plaques are not part of the FTLD pathologic spectrum, and the differential diagnosis comes up in young patients in whom age-related amyloid aggregation is less common.
In most of cases, final pathological diagnosis was confirmed with comprehensive pathologic review and immunohistochemical staining for differential diagnosis, such as cytokeratin, TTF-1, thyroglobulin, and calcitonin 22, 23.
All patients were finally diagnosed as primary SCCTh by surgically obtained specimens or autopsies, and in most of cases, final pathological diagnosis was confirmed with comprehensive pathologic review and immunohistochemical staining for differential diagnosis (Table S1).
These radiologic "clothing signs" help radiologists recall classic radiologic descriptions of pathologic appearances and narrow a differential diagnosis.
We thus wondered whether such low transgene expressors, free of phenotype under conditions of normal homeostasis, might manifest a phenotype under pathologic conditions, by uncovering a differential requirement for endogenous Ets factor(s) expressed at lower relative levels.
In most of the studies reporting the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of the pathologic cysts, the mean diameter of the cyst is seldom mentioned, neither the relation of the diameter of the cyst and the accuracy of differential diagnosis.
